The campaign: The awesome ‘chainsaw art’ at the top of this post will be on the postcards we write on 5/25/25. Here’s the description of the campaign from Postcards4VA …
"We are now onto Part 2 of our tremendously popular Wake Up Virginia postcard campaign. This campaign is to write to women (40-90 years old) who lean Democrat or Republican (you don't register for party in Virginia so we say "lean") and haven't voted in the last elections. Our goal is to wake these women up with our postcards and get them to pay attention to what is happening around them.
They didn't feel a need to vote in previous elections. We are giving them a reason to vote now.
For Part 2, we are sending a new postcard design (see above) with the same strong symbolism and same strong messaging to the same addresses. This campaign runs from May - June and you mail as you write."

We will focus on strategies and pragmatic actions we can take to stop the destruction of our democracy with our special guests speakers:
Historian and political writer Heather Cox Richardson
Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Campbell
U.S. Representative Jamie Raskin
Together, we will answer the question: What CAN and MUST we all do to win this fight.

The CAD - Today’s Coordinated Action Dispatch includes 4 urgent actions that you can take today to protect our democracy.
CAD Team Weekly Action Dispatch - May 7, 2025
Each week, the CAD receives suggested actions from a wide range of activists through the CAD Team Action Submission Form, and works with legislative experts, including the ACLU, Common Cause, and MIRA (Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition) to vet and prioritize a short list of actions for the week.
Please consider doing these priority CAD actions before you do other actions this week, so we can multiply our power and increase our impact! All actions can be done either by individuals or groups.
Today’s CAD Priority Actions:
Defend Medicaid from Republican Budget Cuts - If you care about the quality of healthcare in America, take action now to protect Medicaid from being slashed in order to give billionaires lower taxes.
Stop US Funding of the Humanitarian Crisis in Gaza - As an American, you DO have the power to stop the US from funding the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
Make Large Corporations Pay Their Fair Share in Massachusetts - Ask large corporations to pay their fair share to keep Massachusetts safe and prosperous for children and families.
Protect the Due Process From ICE Overreach in Massachusetts - Our Constitution clearly states that everyone has the right to due process in the United States. You can help protect that right in Massachusetts.

Same comment as Brenda--the cost for the packets isn't mentioned. Please add this to the order page and your newsletter.
